THE FATHER OF FoRTY-oNE.
A Pennsylvania Hunchback's Family
OF Children.

A Pennsylvania Hunchback's Family
OF Children.
A Harrisburg, Pa, correspondent OF
The NeW York Times writes as follows:
Il read in The Times a few days ago."
said a member of the Reading bar, on
a visit to the city, ''an account of q
man in western Pennsylvania who died
the father of thirty three children, at
the age of SO. When John Heffner, of
Reading, was accidentally killed by the
cars in hat city i'll 1885, at the age OF
SO, he was the father of forty-one chill
dren, and a stepchild also called him
father. Heffner was one of Readings
characters, and was then in the full
vigor of health when he was killed. 1t
is doubtful if his record in the paternal
line was ever equaled. Heffner was a
dwarfed hunchback. He was born in
Berlin in 1916, and came to this country
in 1S4S, settled in Reading. Until his
death he made a living by collecting
and selling rags and paper. His re.
markable family history is part of the
records of the Berks county courts, it
having been elected a short time before
his death while he was a witness in a
law suit.
He was married first in 1910. In
eight years his wife bore him seven
teen children. The first and second
years of their marriage she gave birth
to twins. For four successive years
afterward she gave birth to
triplets. In the seventh year
she gave birth to one child, and died
soon afterward. OF the seventeen chill
dren she left, consequently, the oldest
was only 2 years Of age. Heffner en-
gagged a young woma to look after
his large brood OF babies. and three
months later she became the second
Mrs. Heffner, She presented her hus-
band with two children the tirst two
years. Five years later she had added
ten more to the family, two at every
birth. Then for three years she added
but one a year. She died before an
other year came round. OF the thirty
two children John Heffner had been
presented with twelve had died. The
twenty that were loft, however, did
not appear to be any obstacle to i
young widow with one child consent
ing to become the third wife OF the
Jolly little hinchback-for he was
known as one of the happiest and most
genial men in Reading, although it
kept him toiling like a slave to keep
his score of mouths in bread. The
third Mrs. Heffner became the mother
Of nine children to her husband in ten
years and the contentment and happi-
ness of the couple were proverbial.
One day in the fall Of 1885. the father
Of the ~forty-one children was crossing
the Reading track and was run down
BY a reading locomotive and instantly
killed. But for that sad ending
of bis life, it is impossible to estimate
what the size Of the little peddler's
family would eventually have been.
His widow and d large number Of his
chilrden believe there are twenty
eight Of the forty-two still iiving-livc
in Reading. They are all thrifty and
respectable people.
